Awww. Congrats to your brother and sister-in-law! That's such a pretty name. It's tough to have two kids with disabilities in a family. I know of some families that have two severely autistic kids, and it's like, how does this happen??

Thanks Shoshana!

And we're not sure how everything happened. Just that it was a huge shock to all of us. :/ that's pretty much it. But tonight was the first time it actually hit me hard. I was actually ABLE to cry. Yes. ABLE. I've been surrounded by work and school that I wasn't able to think about it, you know? But I didn't work tonight and I was talking with my mom and tears just started rolling. But everything's great now! It felt good to cry and let it out. I'm to the point where her having downs is just gonna be part of her sweet personality and I can't wait to meet her and to get to know her. Thanks for always caring Shoshana. You have no idea just how much it means to me! <3
